Tired Much?

Nana and Tata came to visit the kids in January and like always, Nana had to go shopping to spoil the kids. Thanks Nana and Tata. She bought them a Lighning McQueen tent and they love it so much they wanted to have a sleepover in it in Nathan's room. I was shocked they fell asleep in there, although it didn't last long. Alyssa woke up crying cause she was scared and woke up Nathan.


My babies love each other.


Since I have been on this new medication I've been quite tired so I often indulge in an afternoon nap. I usually have two dogs and two children snuggling with me, they keep me nice and warm.
BTW, That is the Cowboys blanket Mom made for us. Thanks Mom, we love it.

Sledding

A few weeks ago we took the kids sledding in Wrightwood. We had so much fun watching the kids play in the snow. Alyssa keeps asking to go to the cabin and play in the snow but there is way too much snow up there right now.


Alyssa was not scared at all, she couldn't wait go sled down the hill.



Nathan on the other hand took some time warming up to the idea but we got him on the sled. How scared does he look?

He was quite content running up and down the hill to Mommy and Daddy.

Oh, is that a smile?

Oops. Crash, or as Nathan would say it "Oh, pash"




Alyssa decided the hill wasn't enough for her after a while so she had to go off the jump. It reminded me of Mark and Matthew when they were little going of the jumps on the thundertubes.

Lately Alyssa has started giving us the tough girl look. Check out her eyes.

Vroom Vroom

We don't have our Christmas pictures, hopefully we will get those soon but we have some pictures of their new car. They have a blast driving their car around and Alyssa is getting quite good at driving, just ask Nana and Tata. The kids had them running around the block they were driving so fast. Alyssa always makes sure her seatbelt is on and then helps Nathan with his. She is the best big sister! Nathan tries to drive it but can't steer so I have taught him to go forward and then in reverse. I just set the steeringwheel so that he goes in a big circle, otherwise I have to follow him around and pull him out of the rose bushes.

Christmas Cookies

Alyssa is constantly asking to make cookies or muffins so we decided to make cookies for everyone for Christmas. We baked and baked and baked and... Their favorite cookies were the gingerbread cookies because they got to put frosting and sprinkles on them. What a fun mess!

A Day at the Park

Anytime we go to the park Nathan runs straight to the swings and hangs on one until I get there.
They both love love love the swings.

I keep trying to get a great picture of both of my little darlings together. Without fail, only one of them is smiling in any picture I take. Oh well they are beautiful anyway.


They have so much fun running in the park and hiding behind trees to play peek-a-boo.

Nathan's Birthday Party

We went to Nana and Tata's house for Thanksgiving and we celebrated Nathan's birthday while we were there. Our kids are so spoiled and so loved. They love all the attention they get from their Nana, Tata, Nina and Nino. Although I think the kids wear them out after a couple of days.



They went all out for his birthday, everything was Thomas the Train. Thank you so much for the party.

One of Nathan's gifts was a Thomas the Train book. He took it to every family member in the house to show it to them and have them read it to him. He loves Thomas.









Nathan would not leave the train on the cake.



Fezz was a bit upset because he couldn't open the presents.






Can you tell they are happy?
